This is a list of character actors who have appeared on "The Rifleman — one time only" 
 
Whether they have appeared one time only or 168 times, they are just as important
as the main characters and/or anyone else involved in "The Rifleman"

This is just a small tribute to those great many characters actors.

'The Princess'
Ron Penfound as Mr. Smith, one of the men who was looking for the Princess.  He is credited as Ron Penford but is actually Ron Penfound

 Everyone who grew up in Northeastern Ohio in the late 50's and 60's remembers him as "Captain Penny", a local Cleveland icon. Captain Penny was produced at WEWS-TV in Cleveland, a major ABC affiliate at the time. I am guessing that the ABC connection landed him a part in the show.
